I was genuinely thrown off by Orochimaru acting as a neutral party, it just made me wonder what his long game truly is after seeing him wield that Reaper Death Seal knowledge so casually. Honestly, Hashirama’s personality was the biggest, most hilarious surprise after all that setup, but getting those real answers about the Uchiha massacre from the Hokage themselves finally connected so many dots for me, even if it was brutal to hear.
